Ok, last week, even though I chose install along side windows, I was the one that Lubuntu decided to install over my Win XP partition. Got the partition back and programs running.
Today I decide to give the install another try. This time I choose the "something else" option at installation and installed on a newly created partition.
Now Lubuntu will not start and all I get is a blinking cursor.
I can start windows without a problem.
Several questions:
How to I make windows the default start up option.
If I need to do it, how do I uninstall Grub
If I need to how do I uninstall Lubuntu
Can I change the Lubuntu start-up config using the live CD
I once had Ubuntu on this laptop and it worked well. I can't get Lubuntu to play well. Last week when Lubuntu choose to overwrite the windows petition it would boot.
Maybe I should just install Ubuntu and that would overwrite Grub
After what happened last week, I am gun shy to use the windows command to repair commands - bootrec fixmbr and bootrec FixBoot.
